Help shape the future of transit service in Oakville for the next five years
Monday, November 20, 2023
Oakville Transit is seeking feedback from the community to help enhance its service delivery. Members of the public are invited to share their experiences to help inform Oakville Transit’s Five-year Business Plan, which will guide and prepare Oakville Transit for community growth by providing a roadmap for where and how transit services are delivered over the next five years.
The plan will explore new service strategies, capitalize on planned investments in rapid transit services and better connect customers travelling within town, to surrounding municipalities, and the broader Greater Toronto Area.
Members of the public can stop by one of the Pop-up Transit Talk events happening this week to provide input:

Transportation Master Plan – Public Information Centre on December 7
The town is also working on a study to update its Transportation Master Plan (TMP) which will accommodate growth to 2051 and establish a comprehensive multi-modal plan with policies, programs and infrastructure improvements to enhance mobility for all road users, including a focus on more sustainable modes of travel such as walking, cycling and transit. As part of the collaborative nature of the two projects, the Transit Five-year Business Plan team will attend the TMP public information centre on December 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Oakville Town Hall. The team will be available to speak to attendees about transit services, development of the business plan and how this work will support the TMP study process.
